About This Program
The Storytellers Impact Incubator is a first-of-its-kind, fully subsidized 9-day journey through Israel for 40 Jewish creators, founders, and changemakers who are redefining influence in the digital age.
This is not a trip - it’s an incubator empowering global Jewish creators to shape culture online through content, campaigns, and community.
You’ll explore Israel’s geopolitical landscape and creative scene while leveling up your storytelling, brand, and impact. Guided by world-class experts, you’ll experiment, collaborate, and produce content that expands your reach on two dimensions: your personal platform and your Jewish voice.
Each day, you’ll dive into interactive sessions on storytelling, media strategy, identity, and leadership, then immediately put it into practice - building content, campaigns, and collaborations that connect global audiences with the modern Jewish story and Israeli culture.
This is a moment that calls for bold, creative, and fearless voices. If you’re ready to grow your influence and be part of the movement shaping how the world sees Jews and Israel - this is your opportunity.
